Highly Overrated But Still Good

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Leslie Pool (John Lehr) is the inept owner-manager of independent G&G grocery store. It's ragtag group of wacky workers competing always with the corporate Super Value Mart across the street.Other stand outs include Bob Clendenin and Jennifer Elise Cox. Jennifer plays the evil manager of the chain grocery store next door. Sadly she was just a part time player and never made it to the 3rd seasons. The characters are over the top. They bicker. They fight. At the end of the day, they come together as a team. The show is somewhat improvised. The jokes don't come as fast and tight. The pacing is different than most sitcoms. The jokes don't always work but it's still worth a watch.

That's the only way i can sum it up.It has moments that are extremely funny, then it just dies back down to being normal again in a split second. It seems to have trouble keeping audiences laughing, so basically it doesn't keep rolling out the laughs or follow any sort of pattern.This show reminds me A lot of "arrested development", pretty much because of how I just described it above. It's quirky and kind of strange comedy, then its extremely funny and original, but then it's back to normal, then it has failed attempts at jokes......it's kind of weird.The show seems like a mixture between "The Office" and "Arrested Development".But it seems to lack a REAL connection with the characters or storyline. It appears that the show doesn't have a real Bonding "feel" or whatever you want to call it, which can be a HUGE problem.The acting is good enough in most parts, then it suddenly gets really bad out of nowhere depending on who is on camera.If you've ever seen Arrested Development or The Office, this show seems right at home at first, but suddenly lacks real character development and something is off about it.....it's close though!

I think many people that see this don't realize is that much of the dialog is not scripted. The actors are given information about what there character is like and they themselves create the scene. I place this on the same level of comic genius as "Who's Line Is It Anyway?".This type of comedy is not for everyone and that is why some people feels this comes off as quirky. I have to be honest and say I have never seen "The Office" so I cannot comment on any of the comparisons.I am happy that this series has been picked up for another season (3). I do have to admit that I could not see this running on one of the major networks, but TBS is a great place for it. I would like to see about five or six seasons then have a made for TV movie type conclusion.

This is a stupid show. It is not good at all, it's not even funny at all and the actors are all terrible. The writing is some of the worst I've ever seen in a show like this.This is the kind of show you watch and then say "hey how did something that awful get made and put on TV and is still on TV?". Why didn't somebody in the process of making this show stop and say "hey wait a second this show is really bad and we shouldn't waste our time and money making it".Bad, avoid watching if you have good taste.1/10.
